How Did Charles Win The Saxon War
Charles’ war with the Saxons was a very bitter expensive war because the Saxons were a fierce group that worshipped the devil, were hostile to the Christian religion and were violators of all laws. This war started in 772 AD and went on for thirty three years with many false agreements of surrender by the Saxons including them to renounce the devil and adopt Christianity. In 804 AD Charles wins this long war and allows the rest of the ten thousand Saxons to live in peace as long as they abided by his agreement which was to denounce the devil and accept the Christian faith and to join the Franks as one people. Charles shows the people of his Kingdom that he can conquer the groups of people that defy his rule and grow their Kingdom for their

    To What Extent Can the Years 1661-67 Be Seen as Succesful for Charles

    In terms of finance, it can be argued that the situation was not successful. The Government managing it could not provide a stable financial settlement. Largely the King did not have much in the way of money, and Charles' excessive spending on pleasurable activities, at the beginning of his reign only exacerbated the disastrous financial situation. Initially, although Charles agreed to give up feudal dues that were revived by his father, he was granted an annual income of £1.2 million by Parliament. However, this arrangement had two drawbacks. Firstly, the financial settlement that Charles was given, was simply not adequate to his needs. Secondly, the hearth tax that was imposed to raise the money was highly unpopular to the people. It is hard to say a reign is 'successful' if the Monarch is unpopular, especially as the country at that time, was still suffering from the financial situation left behind by the…

Finance became an obvious problem due to his lack of funds, however his foreign policy was constantly needing money, and a combination of both left Charles with many difficulties.…

    “Religion was more important than politics in the failure of King and Parliament to reach a settlement. 1646-1649”, Assess the validity of this statement.

    In January 1649, King Charles I was executed after being charged with high treason due to political and religious reasons, some of which contributed to his refusal in accepting the peace settlements given to him by Parliament. Charles’ refusal to compromise was supported by the division that had emerged within Parliament on how to fight the civil war between the Political Presbyterians and Political Independents. The main factors of the failure to reach a settlement were religion, politics, Charles’ intransigence, the New Model Army and the emergence of radical ideas; all of which eventually concluded to Charles’ execution.…

    How To Charles I's Decision To Impose A Prayer Book In Ireland

    Charles’ decision to impose a prayer book on Scotland in 1637 proved to be an ill-advised move. It was due in part to Charles’ obsession with creating a unified Kingdom based on his strongly held Laudian religious ideas. Without understanding the Scottish plight he brashly introduced the prayer book, triggering a Scottish backlash against not only against religious reforms but Charles’ foreign rule. Rallying behind their National Covenant, the Scottish manoeuvred Charles into a position through the First and Second Bishops Wars where he was forced to call Parliament. This…

    How Did Charlemagne Influence Rome

    Charlemagne (748-814), also known as Charles I or Charles the Great, was an emperor during the Middle Ages who ruled much of Western Europe from 768 until his death in 814. In 771, Charlemagne took the Frankish throne that ruled modern-day France and Germany, from the fifth through the tenth century. He embarked on a mission to rule the Roman Empire, and convert his subjects of those he just conquered to Christianity. A skilled military commander, Charlemagne spent much of his reign in warfare in order to accomplish his objectives. In 800, he was crowned emperor of the Romans by Pope Leo III. As emperor, he promoted the Carolingian Renaissance, a period of cultural and intellectual activity. Of the many scholars included in the Carolingian…

    Would You Sign Charles 1 Death Warrant

    The first charge of the case was “That he did ignore the will of Parliament and ruled according to his own will.” In this particular charge Charles was guilty as he did not consult parliament over important decisions and he only took advice from a small group of people whom he liked. He raised taxes without parliaments consent. Charles did not believe he was doing anything wrong because he believed in divine right which meant God had chosen him to be his representative and only God could judge any unjust behaviour; no law of court had a right to pass judgement over him. Anyone who went…

    How Did Charles I Deal With Religious Conflict

    England was experiencing a rising conflict in its country in large part from religious conflict between different types of Protestants and factors including financial problems Charles I experienced as King. England was a Protestant country and when Charles I started implementing changes to the church, many got upset and fears he was turning the nation to Catholicism. Charles I also didn't spend his money wisely, just like his father, and found himself in the need to find more money in different ways. With Charles finding new ways to get money, he upset many people. England’s civil war in 1642 arose in large part due to differences in religious attitudes, the authority of the King and the lack of money he had in England.…

    Charles I was most to blame for causing the civil war 1642-1645

    Charles I had a very bad start as king, he held all the blame at this point, because of his bad start people didn’t trust him much and he also had a stammer and was shy so people thought it would be more likely for him to let a war happen. Charles needed a stronger personality to be able to rule, people disliked Charles even more when he made the Duke of Buckingham chief minister as he was very unpopular and selfish. Things didn’t get any better when Charles married a catholic wife with a strong personality. People feared that as England was protestant, and Charles married a catholic wife, because of her strong personality she might make England catholic. Parliament was partly to blame for the earlier tension as they tried to refuse customs taxes to Charles.…

    Fever Model Of Revolution

    King Charles I, who ruled at this time, believed in the divine right of kings and thought that he could rule by making his own decisions and not asking for any other opinions. His subjects however, were opposed to this. For example, “the laws are craved by his subjects, and only made by him at their [proposal] and with their advice, for albeit the king make daily statutes and ordinances, [imposing] such pains thereto as he thinks [fit], without any advice of parliament or estates, yet it lies in the power of no parliament to make any kind of law or statute, without his sceptre [that is, authority] be to it, for giving it the force of law…” (Prothero, G.W.). This earned him the title of an absolute monarch. In 1642, King Charles I fought English and Scottish parliaments. He was defeated however in 1645 and surrendered to the Scottish parliament. He was eventually turned over to the English parliament but refused to make England a constitutional monarchy. Parliament then raged war against the king. Oliver Cromwell was a great help to the parliament in this war and because of this alliance, they were able to capture Charles I in 1646. This capture led to King Charles I execution in 1649. The monarchy was abolished and a republic was formed later when William and Mary took the…
